Marguerite was known by many in the community as “Granny” and “Ma” as she cared and gave so much to those around her like they were her own. She was a selfless woman that made sure everyone in the family was taken care of until the very end. Marguerite loved making her big family dinners, sitting outside on her porch to feed the birds and watch over the neighborhood, taking care of her garden (which she guarded with her whole life) and playing her Monday bingo. Anyone who was to know Marguerite had definitely shared many laughs. May we never forget her as the funny, feisty and strong woman that never dared holding back her opinion or telling it like it is.

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
